Phenethyl alcohol used as a fragrance or flavor ingredient is generally reviewed by FDA as a food additive or GRAS substance when destined for food applications. For cosmetic use, no pre-market approval is required, but the importer must ensure the product meets applicable purity standards. Pharmaceutical applications trigger FDA drug-substance review. A licensed customs broker can help coordinate the appropriate agency review based on declared end-use.
